In Short
Located on a pier in the Charlestown Navy Yard, Tavern on the Water affords views of the U.S.S. Constitution and Boston skyline. The bar's comfy interior is no match for the 200-seat outdoor patio. In the bar, regulars watch the game while downing bottles of domestic beer and sturdy pub fare (Maine crab cakes, fried clams, grilled tenderloin tips). An upscale menu (miso-glazed salmon, Ahi tuna tartare) is served in the upstairs dining room.
